Mass shooting in Las Vegas. 50+ dead

[RoadRunner79]

Maybe like making an home intruder turn an run instead of raping your wife or convenience store robber decide it's not worth the risk.

Go out and search for stats that tell us how often people successfully protect their homes with their guns, VS, how often guns in the hands of civilians end up in a death in the family or friends of the gun-owner.
When you have real data, you can make a claim one way or the other.

While one is at it, they can search for the stats on how much gun control effects violent crime rates. 

I don't own a firearm, and don't really see the need for me to have one at this time.   However, if I did fee that I needed that kind of protection I would want it available.
However I do think that focusing on the means used, is ignoring the real issue which is a social problem.
